12 games you must play this Christmasfrom TechRadar: All Latest Feeds
Formost of the world, it's the festive season. For the games industry,it's silly season; all the big releases that have been hyped throughoutthe year released in one huge, bewildering rush. Only millionaires andmadmen can afford all of this Winter's most notable titles, especiallyas they're splintered across competing platforms.
On the plusside, it means there's almost enough gaming fuel to last until nextChrimbo – it really has been a spectacular time for games. So, to helpnarrow down what you're going to stick on your prezzie list, here's ourguide to 12 of the best games available right now.
1. World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King
Formats – PC, Mac
Thissecond expansion for the omnipresent online roleplaying game isn't justnew monsters to kill and hats to wear – it also re-establishes WoW asan explorer's paradise. Full of inventive quests and spectacularsights, this is WoW as it always should have been.
2. Gears of War 2
Formats – Xbox 360
Thisbig-shouldered shooter almost eclipses traditional Xbox golden boy Halothese days, and will inevitably be the best-selling console game of theseason. It's macho men vs macho aliens in an epic war, bothsingleplayer and online. If nothing else, buy it so you can join inwith the endless conversations about it.
3. Left 4 Dead
Formats – PC, Xbox 360
Theultimate zombie apocalypse game. It's four players against an undeadhorde, with teamwork and communication absolutely vital for survival.Especially in the optional eight player game – where other folk controlthe murderous zombies… Fresh, funny, brutal and hugely cinematic.
4. World of Goo
Formats – Wii, PC, Mac
Thistwo-man indie might just be the game of the year. It's a gorgeous,hilarious psychics puzzler in which you build elaborate constructionsout of stretchy , living Goo balls. Except that's not the half of it.Each level does something entirely new with the concept: this is a gamethat'll surprise and charm you anew every ten minutes.
5. Far Cry 2
Formats – PC, Xbox 360, Playstation 3
Thisshooter is almost entirely unrelated to the original Far Cry, but nomatter: it's set in a huge, open-world slice of Africa, with you as aroaming gun for hire. It's a bit of a divisive game, not quite meetingits own ambition, but the size and freedom of the thing more than makesup for its shortcomings.
6. Fallout 3
Formats – PC, Xbox 360, Playstation 3
Anotherfree-roaming epic, though this one's a roleplaying game set inpost-nuclear Washington DC. With a 50s-meets-steampunk style all of itsown and an unbelievable amount of quests, characters and sights to digup at your leisure, it's the perfect Chrimbo timesink.
7. Little Big Planet
Formats – PlayStation 3
Themost important game on PlayStation 3 thus far – Sony's troubled consolefinally earns its keep. The base platforming game is so-so, but that'sonly an entrée – the meat of LBP is a powerful but joyously simplegame-building tool. Folk have already recreated the likes of Tetris andMario with it., but that's likely just the tip of the iceberg.
8. Fable 2
Formats – Xbox 360
A sort of opposite to Fallout 3 – this laid-back RPG dials back the violence and griminess in favour of veryBritish comedy and establishing your place in the world. Whether that'sby settling down with (or divorcing) the girl/boy of your dreams,earning a fortune from property development or farting in people'sfaces.
9. King's Bounty: The Legend
Formats – PC
ThisRussian-made strategy-roleplaying game is a mad as a pig in a hat.Really, properly mad. As you'll discover when you're caught in a lovetriangle with a zombie and a frog, performing amateur dentistry ondragons and leading an army comprising bears, vampires, giant snakes,fairies and pirates.
10. Guitar Hero World Tour
Formats – Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Wii
Therock-centric rhythm action series escapes its traditional guitarconfines for a full band setup – drums and vocals now join thestrumming. It's Guitar Hero's response to Rock Band, essentially. Analternative to this is Rock Band 2, which has arguably a bettertrack-lising but is 360 only.
11. Lego Batman
Platforms – Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Wii, PC
Despitethe presence of ol'Bats, this is about as far from The Dark Knight asyou can get. It's puzzle-platforming for kids and adults like, duffingup plastic supervillains while constructing escape routes and trapsfrom nearby Legos. At its best in two-player, both of you workingtogether to beat the levels.
12. Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3
Platforms – PC, Xbox 360
Base-building,tank-smashing real-time strategy with its tongue firmly in its cheek.Set in an alternate timeline where World War II never happened, andinstead the Allieds wage war against a Tesla-powered Soviet Empire anda robot-powered Japanese legion. Fortunately it's as inventive as it issilly – its crazed alterna-tech units are a joy to play with. |
